My butt is always sore



Recommended Posts

Ever since I lost weight my butt is always sore. I can sit for a few mins and it feels like I've been sitting for hours. Does anyone have this problem. I'm not sure is it bcuz I lost a lot of muscle in my butt or what. Its very annoying. I guess I'll ask the Dr when I go for my annual check up.

It happens to do many of us after rapid weight loss... I've lost weight before and never had this problem but since the surgery and lost wait even sitting for a few minutes hurts.

If you google "sore tailbone after losing weight"

You will get pages of theories. The padding or skin on the actual tail bone becomes very thin why I don't know..

The best advice I've read is to do squats and lunges to build up the muscles there.

Or as my husband says just get up off your lazy (skinny) azz.. :P

I have this issue too - sitting in the car for anything longer than 15 mins is painful!

I'm getting it on my hip bones when I wake up... Its not nice...

and also my shoulders...

I was actually giving consideration to get some of that padding they use for people who are bed-bound, it's that sore!

Oh, I'm having pain in my shoulders and tops of my arms, especially when I waken up - I tend to sleep with my hands underneath the pillow....

Y'all are making me worry!! My husband and I are scheduled for VHS Jan 2. We ride a Harley I wonder if we will have this problem. My butt already hurts after a while on there.

I'm so glad that this problem isn't unique to me! I had ankle surgery and have been almost completely sedentary since Oct 18th, in the past month my butt has been so sore and uncomfortable. I've lost 90 pounds since March 2013 and still have 50 to go. Any suggestions for how to relieve the pain?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
